Fins are losing but they left some plays on the field and the dumb penalties (especially hitting the kicker) have hurt them. We need to step up our 3rd down conversions and stop them on 3rd downs. RT missed a wide open Hartline, but he had a really nice TD run. The defense is playing pretty well considering our weak secondary. Hopefully we pull this, GO FINS!!

I'm still wondering how the refs missed an open field facemask on a Qb.

As for Miami. The last drive hopefully gave them a boost.

Re: 17-10 at halftime thoughts.

watching Marino play for 17 years leaves me feeling unimpressed when i watch Brady (and Brees many times). All of his passes are 1 to 2 yards and the little guys get all the yards after catch. He never pushes the ball up the field. I don't remember Marino, Kelly and Montana dump passing all game long.

Re: 17-10 at halftime thoughts.

our defense played great all game and then they finally gassed.That botched snap at the beginning of the game killed us.

well both teams looked off their game today but we gave them a game at least. they did not steam roll us like their last few opponents.

It's so annoying watching the Pats. They are good though, so I'm hating. That TD pass to Welker was weak, short throws.

Re: 17-10 at halftime thoughts.

i would like to see Brady's season yardage total on passes 5 yards or less. It's probably 3500 yards. LOL.

Surprised more teams don't adopt that system. Screen City.

You severely underscore what Brady actually does man. He carves defenses up from the inside out. It takes a QB with upper echelon accuracy/touch to be able to constantly throw into high traffic areas of the short field like that.

For years Brady and the Pats have been masterful using the screen pass to keep defenses off-balance. I actually get jealous watching it.

Amen. They dissect defenses like nobody else. So efficient, so relentless...I'm tired of it lol. Very jealous.

Re: 17-10 at halftime thoughts.

The Pats offense used to throw down field all the time back when Randy Moss was in his prime. I am sure the Patriot fans could care less "how" Brady does it, the fact is all the guy does is put up great stats and wins ball games.

Whether he throws ten yard passes or 50 yard passes is really irrelevant. The guy is a winner.

Re: 17-10 at halftime thoughts.

I would take that type of offense all year,number 1 in scoring. Swerve, you trip me out. Can't say anything negative about RT but you can sit here and talk negative about a 3 time SB champ and league MVP. WOW.

Keep trying to strip Brady of his success.

Yeah , Belichicks scheme worked so well in Cleveland when he had Bernie Kosar , Vinnie Testaverde , Mike Tomzak , Todd Philcox , Eric Zeir (remember them) & Mark Rypien as his QB's. That Tom Brady guy just got lucky like these other QB's to play under Belichicks scheme.
